This study will compare conventional SWRO systems operating at 40-45% recovery utilizing currently available energy recovery devices with the twin turbocharger design operating at about 60% recovery. Also, the impact on center port membrane housings for reduction in membrane arrays costs will be explored....

In contrast to the many papers previously published and presented on energy recovery devices (ERD) in seawater RO systems, this presentation will consider the effects of ERD availability and reliability on the function, efficiency, and cost of seawater desalination plants. In this way, this presentation will have interest and value to engineers, op...

This presentation will consider how selection and placement of pumps and energy recovery devices can optimize membrane systems for capital or life cycle cost. The effect of interstage boosting using pumps and/or turbochargers on feed velocity, flux distribution, and energy demand will be discussed with an emphasis on device selection to achieve pr...

Recovery and efficiency are synonymous in an era of water scarcity. A new generation of Ultra High Pressure (UHP) systems rated for 1740PSI (120bar) address the challenges of concentration and osmotic pressure to open a new frontier of brine salinities above 80kppm, representing a convergence of established practices and innovative design with tod...

In common parlance, reverse osmosis (RO) is often described as removing salt from water. In practice however, these processes squeeze water from a salt solution resulting in concentrate to be disposed or treated further in more expensive processes which pose significant challenges to the viability of a project. Disposal options may be cost-prohibit...
